I dont really think its any less weird that donating money to millionaires running in tights grabbing balls. And then, get this, after they are done with the career of ball grabbing they talk, and people give them more money for it.
Agreed. A paramedic can save multiple lives per day while qualifying for government assistance in some states. But a literal moron with incredible physical capabilities in one sport can make enough money to support the next 5 generations of his family. Yet, back to that moron part, 60% of NBA and 78% of NFL players are bankrupt usually no more than 3 or 4 years after retirement.
That moron ball grabber is the top .000001%. Is this the top .00000001% paramedic? What's the competition like to become a paramedic, have kids been devoting 6-8 hours a day for 15 years just to get an entry level paramedic role then being cut after one year?
The fact so many of these guys become bankrupt makes you... Hate them more? You do understand the 70% that become bankrupt did not make enough money to support their next 5 generations right? They likely were in the league a year or two on a rookie min, and will never get any additional money from the sport they devoted their life to.
If you knew how much money sports made, then you would be defending the athletes over what the owners take. Did you know how much revenue college sports brought in, and athletes weren't paid any of it up until a few years ago. The problem is that paramedics are underpaid, yes. But shooting down another profession because you don't understand why it brings in revenue is fucking idiotic.
